I’m a 39M based in the UK, fairly active (run a few times a week, generally eat OK), and I’ve been taking Centrum daily for about 6 months now.
Honestly… I can’t say I’ve noticed *any* difference. No energy boost, no recovery improvement, nothing obvious at all.
I get that vitamins aren’t meant to be some miracle fix, but with how widely recommended they are (and how big brands like Haleon position them), I expected *something* — even if it’s subtle.
So a couple of questions for people who know more than me:
* Am I doing something wrong here?
* Are multivitamins like Centrum actually worth it if you’re reasonably healthy already?
* Or is this basically expensive insurance / clever branding?
Also curious if people have moved away from the big household-name brands and noticed a difference with anything else (or just stopped altogether).
Feels like there’s a lot of trust placed in these companies, but not much real-world feedback beyond “you should take a multivitamin”.
Interested to hear what people actually think?
